Runs well on modern hardware.

A masterpiece, holds up well. It was nice of LeChuck to explain the last games ending before last battle. Big Whoop is so twisted that even with all the humour it works so well. Finding Big Whoop in second game made kind of think of Lost show where they found the hatch in the jungle which was full of mysteries.
I played this for the first time around 2007 on the old box computer and man I thought I was never going to see this game again. I am so happy I got to go down nostalgia lane and it was very fun remembering all the things. The bride ghost always scared ts out of me. XD A very compelling story, amazing dialoge, awesome soundtrack. This was my personal introduction to pirates at least in a sillier type of way. ♥
Always fun to go back to the world of Monkey Island and revisit the loveable characters inhabiting it.
